A downloadable game

A very small 2D game made with C++ and SDL3. You play as a spider that shoots webs to catch mosquitoes, while avoiding its own web so it doesn’t get tangled, a funny, lighthearted game.

CG Spectrum Q1 2026 Game Jam entry. 

  • I used AI to help with some of the sprite bases. I’m mainly a programmer, not a concept artist. I can make art, but it wasn’t the focus of this project. I used ChatGPT to generate simple black-and-white silhouettes (the spider, mosquitoes, some rocks), then I manually traced and redrew them as clean vector sprites in a vector illustration program (Affinity Designer). So the final sprites are partially AI-assisted, but still manually finished and refined by me.
  • The concept, gameplay, code, and all rules/systems are 100% handmade by me (real human😁)
  • The background music used in this game is “Funny Background Music NO Copyright Happy Song - Bouncy Beats” by NoCopyrightSound633. Link: https://pixabay.com/music/upbeat-funny-background-music-no-copyright-happy-song-bouncy-beats-324558/
